What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy When TSH Levels Are Normal?

Posted on Mon, 15 Feb 2016

Question: I am 28 years old. Married one year ago and now planning for a baby from this 10th January, 2016. This is our first try. In my periods I have a delay of 2 days every month from September 2015, before that it was regular on date. I have thyroid, but my last TSH report was normal, I did it on 25th December 2015, hemoglobin is 11.5 last report on the same day. I am slightly overweight may be. As my height is 4.9 inch and weigh is 63 kg. Is everything alright in my body to get pregnant by next month. I am taking thyronorm 50 every morning, and Sypradyn tablets one a day. I am also checking my fertility days and ovulation this month and proceeding for the same. Do I need to do anything else apart from that. Kindly suggest...Brief Answer:
Semen should remain in vagina for a while

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, since the entry of semen in the vagina is must fir conception, therefore the man on top position is more favourable for conception.
Female orgasm is not necessary for conception.
It is better to stay in bed for at least half an hour after intercourse so that the semen remains inside and sperm can go in the genital tract leading to conception.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Brief Answer:
Folic acid tablet

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,

I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
If your TSH levels are normal, then your hypothyroidism is controlled by the medicine.
There is no need to worry about the delay in the periods only by 2-3 days , because if they are regular, other hormonal disturbances are unlikely.
However, I will suggest you to take folic acid5 mg tablet once daily from today onwards as taking it in preconceptional period reduces the risk of congenital anomalies in the fetus.
The multivitamin tablet you are taking contains low dosage of folic acid, which is insufficient.
You should have alternate day intercourse from day 8 to day 22 of the cycle, which is the fertility period, to maximize the chances of conception.

At this point I wouldn't be worried about chances of conception. Consider my suggestions and keep trying.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.

Thanks for the reply. I would further like to ask some private questions as it strikes my mind with lots of questions and confusions. I get my orgasm in a position women on top but I have heard that for getting pregnant the man on top position works best. I don't get orgasm on the man on top position most of the time. Will that affect my pregnancy chance. Is female orgasm compulsory for getting pregnant. And after ejaculation should I stay lying in bed or can I sit down in a chair or go for toilet....
